The horses were given false start Sur
imam led to the draw-gate, when Snowdrop
came up and won easily by neck. When
the judges announced that it was no race
there was much loud talk of disappointment
on the part of the hackers OF the favorite, and
The starter came in for a large amount of
censure. The horses were taken back to
the post again and given another send-off.
Inc favorlte was far in the rear when the
half-mile pole was reached. Surinam
cut out the work again and was an
easy winner by several lengths. The
announcement from the judges stand
was delayed for some time. Mr.. LaRue
finally said " The verdict of the Judges is
that Surinam is disqualified from winning
on account of foul riding" The positions
were then announced as follows: Katisha
ilrst, Snowdrop second, Peel third. This
decision pleased some and greatly dis
pleased many, and the hackers of Surinam
Were loud in their denunciation of the
judges. However, the pools were paid ac-
cording TO the decision of the judges, and
the next race was called.

FEE PURSE, MILE HEATS.
The last race of the day was for free
purse of $3.50 mile heats. There were four
starters-Blackstone, Manzanita, Lizzie
Dunbar and Rock. Lizzie Dunbar a mag
nificent animal, was large fayorite
selling for $40 in the pools against
$25 for the field. She is by Bazaar
dam Tibbie Dunbar and a half sister of
Lena Dunbar, who was one of the finest
race mares that ever run on the turf. Lena
never had to lower her colors, and the race
she won from Mark L. over "plowed
track stamped her as one of the best
stayers and speediest animals ever owned
| in this State. Lizzie resembles her half
sister very much, and is dangerous COM
petitor. The first heat was taken by Mama
nita, winning in las, by neck from Lizzie
whose rider evidently let her have the
heat. He knew he had the best mare. he
was no swine" and did not want the
earth" The loss of this heat however, en-
couraged the field buyers, and the hackers
of the favorite got better odds for their
money-Lizzie Dunbar selling for $50, the
field bringing $50. Rock is an ambitious
chestnut gelding, and even if he did come
| in behind, he wanted to show that he could
90 farther, and would not be pulled up at
the finish of the heat His jockey, Tommy
| Ward, pulled all he could, but Rock kept
on going and did not stop until he had run
around the track three and half miles.
This, howevee cooked NJ" as the turf
men term it, and the judges allowed him
to be Withdrawn.
The next heat was taken by Lizzie Dun
bar, who won from Manzsnita in LA by
three lengths, distancing Blackstone
The third heat was won by Lizzie in
canter in l:474.
